1
00:00:14,470 --> 00:00:11,669
so this is this is big we got ken ham

2
00:00:16,550 --> 00:00:14,480
the commander of the ses 132 crew very

3
00:00:19,029 --> 00:00:16,560
good my buddy mike good

4
00:00:20,550 --> 00:00:19,039
sitting right next to him

5
00:00:21,830 --> 00:00:20,560
what do you guys have like a nickname or

6
00:00:23,029 --> 00:00:21,840
something for this crew are you guys

7
00:00:24,230 --> 00:00:23,039
like the uh

8
00:00:26,230 --> 00:00:24,240
do you have anything what's been going

9
00:00:27,429 --> 00:00:26,240
on around here nicknames uh the the

10
00:00:30,550 --> 00:00:27,439
first one i think we had was the

11
00:00:31,589 --> 00:00:30,560
lollygaggers the lollygaggers

12
00:00:32,870 --> 00:00:31,599
yeah

13
00:00:34,950 --> 00:00:32,880
there's some other ones that we probably

14
00:00:37,030 --> 00:00:34,960
can't reveal to the public we can edit

15
00:00:39,590 --> 00:00:37,040
this it's okay we can always edit it out

16
00:00:43,430 --> 00:00:41,750
catch me up we're carrying up a russian

17
00:00:45,430 --> 00:00:43,440
module all right which is very

18
00:00:47,510 --> 00:00:45,440
interesting yes

19
00:00:49,029 --> 00:00:47,520
it's most interesting because

20
00:00:50,790 --> 00:00:49,039
it attaches to space station in a

21
00:00:52,389 --> 00:00:50,800
completely different way

22
00:00:53,910 --> 00:00:52,399
that we haven't done before all right

23
00:00:55,670 --> 00:00:53,920
this business typically when we attach

24
00:00:57,270 --> 00:00:55,680
modules as you know we kind of come up

25
00:00:59,110 --> 00:00:57,280
with a cbm or

26
00:01:04,070 --> 00:00:59,120
uh

27
00:01:05,270 --> 00:01:04,080
is the big ring yeah you get attached

28
00:01:06,469 --> 00:01:05,280
stuff that's right whole thing's put

29
00:01:07,830 --> 00:01:06,479
together isn't it

30
00:01:10,310 --> 00:01:07,840
all the modules come together with that

31
00:01:11,750 --> 00:01:10,320
yeah however this is mating to the

32
00:01:13,429 --> 00:01:11,760
birthing to the russian side of the

33
00:01:14,469 --> 00:01:13,439
space station completely different

34
00:01:18,789 --> 00:01:14,479
mechanism

35
00:01:20,149 --> 00:01:18,799
still use in progress use all right

36
00:01:21,270 --> 00:01:20,159
russian spaceships

37
00:01:22,390 --> 00:01:21,280
yeah

38
00:01:25,270 --> 00:01:22,400
exactly

39
00:01:26,469 --> 00:01:25,280
vehicles all right bring uh

40
00:01:28,149 --> 00:01:26,479
cargo and

41
00:01:29,990 --> 00:01:28,159
back and forth space station this

42
00:01:31,590 --> 00:01:30,000
talking mechanism is meant for free

43
00:01:34,149 --> 00:01:31,600
flyer which has a little sort of a pro

44
00:01:35,670 --> 00:01:34,159
mechanism right and then a receptacle on

45
00:01:38,069 --> 00:01:35,680
space station which is kind of looks

46
00:01:39,670 --> 00:01:38,079
like a big old funnel yeah and you fly

47
00:01:41,030 --> 00:01:39,680
this probe into the funnel and it gets

48
00:01:42,149 --> 00:01:41,040
guided down into the bottom and it

49
00:01:43,749 --> 00:01:42,159
latches in there and then all right

50
00:01:46,069 --> 00:01:43,759
contract it in and makes that a hard

51
00:01:47,990 --> 00:01:46,079
mating so okay

52
00:01:50,149 --> 00:01:48,000
the difference is in our case yeah it's

53
00:01:52,469 --> 00:01:50,159
robotically yeah so we're using the

54
00:01:55,030 --> 00:01:52,479
station big arm to take this big old

55
00:01:55,990 --> 00:01:55,040
module right which weighs about eight

56
00:01:58,870 --> 00:01:56,000
tons

57
00:01:59,990 --> 00:01:58,880
almost fifteen thousand pounds okay and

58
00:02:01,350 --> 00:02:00,000
basically do the same thing that you

59
00:02:03,429 --> 00:02:01,360
would do the pre-flier you take this

60
00:02:04,870 --> 00:02:03,439
module and ram it into the funnel and

61
00:02:06,230 --> 00:02:04,880
hopefully get those latches together

62
00:02:07,910 --> 00:02:06,240
okay that's the first thing that's been

63
00:02:09,270 --> 00:02:07,920
done i bet y'all i think that is first

64
00:02:10,949 --> 00:02:09,280
first time

65
00:02:12,070 --> 00:02:10,959
very cool so you guys are going to get

66
00:02:13,430 --> 00:02:12,080
to do that and you're carrying this

67
00:02:14,630 --> 00:02:13,440
thing up in your payload bay that's

68
00:02:15,670 --> 00:02:14,640
correct all right

69
00:02:17,670 --> 00:02:15,680
what do you call this thing what's the

70
00:02:19,830 --> 00:02:17,680
name it's a technically called the mini

71
00:02:21,670 --> 00:02:19,840
research module number one

72
00:02:25,990 --> 00:02:21,680
all right however it now has a russian

73
00:02:27,670 --> 00:02:26,000
name yep yet which means dawn

74
00:02:29,110 --> 00:02:27,680
that's very nice like the dawn like the

75
00:02:30,630 --> 00:02:29,120
sunrise

76
00:02:32,309 --> 00:02:30,640
that's very nice

77
00:02:33,830 --> 00:02:32,319
all right we actually tied that into the

78
00:02:37,670 --> 00:02:33,840
little description on our

79
00:02:39,030 --> 00:02:37,680
logo here wow which is it means two

80
00:02:40,630 --> 00:02:39,040
things here it kind of looks like the

81
00:02:42,070 --> 00:02:40,640
space shuttle flying off into the sunset

82
00:02:44,070 --> 00:02:42,080
yeah as it is kind of marked on the end

83
00:02:46,229 --> 00:02:44,080
of this space shuttle last night last

84
00:02:48,309 --> 00:02:46,239
flight of atlantis the last flight of

85
00:02:52,550 --> 00:02:48,319
space shuttle atlantis that's it right

86
00:02:58,149 --> 00:02:55,910
yeah but also it kind of looks like dawn

87
00:02:59,350 --> 00:02:58,159
so you have the old russell oh

88
00:03:01,830 --> 00:02:59,360
like it's a

89
00:03:03,190 --> 00:03:01,840
so our poet laureate gary yes the crew

90
00:03:05,430 --> 00:03:03,200
who developed a patch and the words that

91
00:03:07,190 --> 00:03:05,440
go in the back tied it all together

92
00:03:09,750 --> 00:03:07,200
so one of the things we got to do was go

93
00:03:11,910 --> 00:03:09,760
over to russia to see it yeah so we went

94
00:03:15,509 --> 00:03:11,920
over to and had a little russia visit uh

95
00:03:17,350 --> 00:03:15,519
we went over to inergia in uh moscow

96
00:03:19,430 --> 00:03:17,360
and we got to go inside

97
00:03:20,869 --> 00:03:19,440
ergia is there uh there's aerospace

98
00:03:22,710 --> 00:03:20,879
companies

99
00:03:24,869 --> 00:03:22,720
okay he actually got to climb inside of

100
00:03:27,190 --> 00:03:24,879
it check it out climb around outside of

101
00:03:29,509 --> 00:03:27,200
it and now it's uh it's since been

102
00:03:31,509 --> 00:03:29,519
shipped to uh florida so it's uh in

103
00:03:33,670 --> 00:03:31,519
florida ready to go or getting ready to

104
00:03:35,910 --> 00:03:33,680
go and we'll pack that in our payload

105
00:03:37,990 --> 00:03:35,920
bay and take it up with us and then his

106
00:03:39,990 --> 00:03:38,000
canvas grab

107
00:03:41,670 --> 00:03:40,000
robotically connected up to the rest of

108
00:03:43,350 --> 00:03:41,680
the station but the neat thing about it

109
00:03:45,589 --> 00:03:43,360
was being able to go over to russia oh

110
00:03:46,710 --> 00:03:45,599
that is so cool so we did that trip as a

111
00:03:48,070 --> 00:03:46,720
group

112
00:03:49,830 --> 00:03:48,080
and uh

113
00:03:51,270 --> 00:03:49,840
that was a good time you guys get to

114
00:03:52,550 --> 00:03:51,280
look around a little bit

115
00:03:54,630 --> 00:03:52,560
yeah right now

116
00:03:55,830 --> 00:03:54,640
for me it was the first time i was ever

117
00:03:57,110 --> 00:03:55,840
in russia have you been interviewing

118
00:03:58,949 --> 00:03:57,120
i've never been to this trip to russia's

119
00:04:00,550 --> 00:03:58,959
right so it was a fantastic

120
00:04:03,429 --> 00:04:00,560
adventure

121
00:04:04,710 --> 00:04:03,439
yeah it was it was an extremely valuable

122
00:04:06,630 --> 00:04:04,720
experience to go actually see this

123
00:04:08,309 --> 00:04:06,640
hardware and understand how it worked

124
00:04:10,949 --> 00:04:08,319
yeah russians were

125
00:04:13,429 --> 00:04:10,959
over the top accommodating the amount of

126
00:04:15,350 --> 00:04:13,439
training they supplied us on how their

127
00:04:19,189 --> 00:04:15,360
module works

128
00:04:23,030 --> 00:04:20,469
an eva

129
00:04:24,870 --> 00:04:23,040
a simulated eba guy but an actual person

130
00:04:27,350 --> 00:04:24,880
inside one of their lawn suits showing

131
00:04:29,030 --> 00:04:27,360
us pressurized showing us how to take

132
00:04:31,350 --> 00:04:29,040
the bolts off of

133
00:04:32,310 --> 00:04:31,360
what we might have to do which is

134
00:04:34,070 --> 00:04:32,320
pretty pretty neat so you have

135
00:04:36,310 --> 00:04:34,080
contingency spacewalks is that what

136
00:04:38,870 --> 00:04:36,320
you're describing in the event that this

137
00:04:40,870 --> 00:04:38,880
uh this probe on the end of the module

138
00:04:42,710 --> 00:04:40,880
can't retract yeah we could be in a

139
00:04:44,710 --> 00:04:42,720
situation where we can't put this module

140
00:04:45,990 --> 00:04:44,720
back into the payload you bring it home

141
00:04:48,390 --> 00:04:46,000
so in that case you have to go outside

142
00:04:49,590 --> 00:04:48,400
eva and remove this whole mechanism off

143
00:04:50,310 --> 00:04:49,600
the end yeah

144
00:04:51,990 --> 00:04:50,320
so

145
00:04:53,430 --> 00:04:52,000
it's very very very unlikely but of

146
00:04:54,469 --> 00:04:53,440
course

147
00:04:57,189 --> 00:04:54,479
you know that's one of the cool things

148
00:04:58,710 --> 00:04:57,199
about both of you guys are military guys

149
00:05:02,310 --> 00:04:58,720
correct ken you're a navy guy mike of

150
00:05:04,469 --> 00:05:02,320
course an air force guy and uh

151
00:05:06,150 --> 00:05:04,479
you know what i'm a civilian but what i

152
00:05:07,749 --> 00:05:06,160
found interesting was you know over the

153
00:05:09,029 --> 00:05:07,759
years the way the space program has kind

154
00:05:10,950 --> 00:05:09,039
of led to friendship between our

155
00:05:12,310 --> 00:05:10,960
countries because

156
00:05:13,670 --> 00:05:12,320
probably when you guys first started in

157
00:05:15,749 --> 00:05:13,680
your military careers we weren't

158
00:05:17,909 --> 00:05:15,759
exchanging too much information with the

159
00:05:19,110 --> 00:05:17,919
with the russians right i mean and now

160
00:05:21,350 --> 00:05:19,120
and now it's you know i think it's a

161
00:05:23,029 --> 00:05:21,360
great sign of what the space program is

162
00:05:24,230 --> 00:05:23,039
has helped with and that's international

163
00:05:26,550 --> 00:05:24,240
relations because now we're working

164
00:05:27,590 --> 00:05:26,560
together with those guys uh hand in hand

165
00:05:29,350 --> 00:05:27,600
here you know you're going over there

166
00:05:30,790 --> 00:05:29,360
you're getting to see stuff that

167
00:05:33,029 --> 00:05:30,800
you know years ago you had never gotten

168
00:05:35,430 --> 00:05:33,039
a chance to right and uh for both mike

169
00:05:37,270 --> 00:05:35,440
and i were both uh aviators

170
00:05:38,629 --> 00:05:37,280
in our early days in the military they

171
00:05:40,710 --> 00:05:38,639
were quite literally

172
00:05:42,950 --> 00:05:40,720
trained and capable of delivering

173
00:05:45,110 --> 00:05:42,960
nuclear weapons yeah to the old soviet

174
00:05:46,469 --> 00:05:45,120
union right and that took up a lot of

175
00:05:48,550 --> 00:05:46,479
our time

176
00:05:51,670 --> 00:05:48,560
and then here we are

177
00:05:53,350 --> 00:05:51,680
six months ago standing in red square

178
00:05:54,550 --> 00:05:53,360
enjoying

179
00:05:58,309 --> 00:05:54,560
their

180
00:05:59,510 --> 00:05:58,319
yeah and i i thought it was really sweet

181
00:06:00,550 --> 00:05:59,520
did that hit you did you guys think

182
00:06:02,629 --> 00:06:00,560
about that when it was going oh it

183
00:06:04,230 --> 00:06:02,639
really hit me as we were landing so

184
00:06:06,230 --> 00:06:04,240
we're on this commercial airplane flight

185
00:06:07,990 --> 00:06:06,240
over to moscow and we're landing in

186
00:06:09,430 --> 00:06:08,000
moscow we break out through the clouds

187
00:06:10,950 --> 00:06:09,440
and i see the ground over there for the

188
00:06:12,950 --> 00:06:10,960
first time and i thought to myself you
